The Rolec UltraCharge 40/80 Ground Mounting Base is the galvanised steel pedestal base accessory for UltraCharge 40 and UltraCharge 80 installations.

GMUC4080 is listed by Rolec as the pedestal galvanised steel ground mounting base in the UltraCharge 40 and UltraCharge 80 accessory sets. It is used where the compact DC charger is installed with its pedestal arrangement and the ground fixing needs to be planned as part of the rapid charging bay. This is not an electrical charger in its own right. It supports the physical installation package for Rolec UltraCharge 40 and UltraCharge 80 DC charging equipment. The base should be specified at the same time as the charger, mounting pedestal, cable route, bay protection and signage because the charger cabinet and DC cables need more setting-out space than a small AC wall unit.

What does GMUC4080 fit?

GMUC4080 is listed for the UltraCharge 40 and UltraCharge 80 accessory sets. UltraCharge 40 is a compact DC rapid charger with up to 40kW charging, while UltraCharge 80 offers up to 80kW charging with two DC outputs. Both ranges are commercial DC products used in locations such as fleets, workplaces, dealerships, marinas, car parks and public sites.

The ground base is specifically tied to the pedestal mounting arrangement for these DC chargers. It should not be confused with the charger cabinet, the optional mounting pedestal or the protection barriers. For UltraCharge 40 projects, review the Rolec UltraCharge 40 DC EV charger. For higher-output compact rapid projects, compare the Rolec UltraCharge 80 DC EV charger.

Why rapid charger bases need early planning

DC charger installations demand more planning than a simple accessory order. The charger cabinet, pedestal, cable management, power supply route and user interface all need to be considered before the ground base position is fixed. UltraCharge 40 and 80 chargers use 5m DC cables as standard in the verified Rolec product data, so the base and pedestal position must allow those cables to reach vehicle inlets without obstructing pedestrians or adjacent bays.

Cabinet access is also important. Rapid chargers need maintenance clearance, emergency stop visibility and safe user approach. A base placed too close to a kerb, wall or barrier can make the charger difficult to use or maintain. Installers should set out the ground base from the full bay drawing, not from the charger footprint alone.

Using GMUC4080 with pedestal hardware

The UltraCharge 40 accessory list includes an UltraCharge 40 mounting pedestal and GMUC4080 as the pedestal galvanised steel ground mounting base. The UltraCharge 80 accessory list also includes GMUC4080. That makes this SKU a shared base accessory for the 40/80 pedestal mounting package, not a universal base for every UltraCharge family.

Where the site moves to UltraCharge 180 or UltraCharge 400, the mounting and civil works requirements are different and should be checked against those product data sheets. GMUC4080 belongs with the compact 40/80 platform. On a rapid charging bay, it should be specified with any required protection barrier, cable management review and EV bay signage.

Protection and signage around the base

Rapid charger bays are more exposed to vehicle movement because drivers turn in, connect heavy DC cables and often stay for shorter periods. The base should be coordinated with physical protection where the charger sits near a traffic route. Approved options include a root mount EV chargepoint protection barrier for planned groundworks or a surface-mounted barrier where the surface is already finished.

Signage also helps keep the bay clear for charging use. A visible EV parking sign can reduce confusion on public or mixed-use sites. The finished layout should leave enough space for the user to read the charger interface, handle the DC cable and return the connector without standing in the path of moving vehicles.
